DESCRIPTION
The LM4921 combines a 16-bit resolution stereo I2S
input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a stereo
headphone audio power amplifier. It is primarily
designed for demanding applications in mobile
phones and other portable communication device
applications. The LM4921 features an I2S serial
interface for the digital audio information and a 16-bit
SPI serial interface for internal register control and
communication. With AVDD and DVDD = 3.0VDC and
driving a 32Ω single-ended load to a 26mWRMS
output level the distortion (THD+N) of the LM4921 will
be less than 0.5%. The LM4921 also features a
programmable 32-step digital volume control
accessed through an SPI interface.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. It is,
therefore, ideally suited for mobile phone and other
low voltage applications where minimal power
consumption is a primary requirement.
The LM4921 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode, and also has an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism.
Best operation is achieved by maintaining 3.0V ≤ AVDD ≤ 5.0V
and 3.0V ≤ DVDD ≤ 5.0V.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which ensure specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not ensured for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.
All voltages are measured with respect to the GND pin, unless otherwise specified.
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX–TA)/θJA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever
is lower.
Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPI OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The serial data bits are organized into a field which contains 16 bits of data defined by Table 1. Bits 1 & 2
determine the output mode of the LM4921 as shown in Table 2. Bits 7 through 11 determine the volume level
setting as illustrated by Table 3. Bit 12 sets the Bypass capacitor charging time.

ACTIVE
Shutdown turns off the part completely for maximum power savings. The Standby mode turns off the clock but
still consumes more power than the shutdown mode. However, coming out of standby mode allows the part to
turn back on faster than from shutdown. In Mute mode the clocks remain on which uses more power but allows
faster recovery and the ability to supply clock signals to other devices which is important when the part is used in
master mode. Active mode turns the part on for normal operation.
MASTER/SLAVE SELECT
Allows the part to act as a master and supply the clock for the rest of the system or be a slave to the system
clock.
RESOLUTION SET
Sets the resolution to be either 16 or 32 bits of stereo audio information. For most applications this will be set at
16 bits.

ZERO CROSSING DETECT SET
This pin turns on the zero crossing detection circuit. With this circuit enabled the part will not allow a volume step
change, or shutdown mode, or standby mode to occur until the audio input signal passes through zero. This pin
should be set to on for most applications.
VOLUME CONTROL
The internal Stereo Volume Control is set by changing bits 7 through 11 in the SPI interface, as shown in Table 3
below. The zero dB setting is for 3V VDD operation and the +3dB is for 5V VDD.

BYPASS CHARGE RATE BIT 12
This control pin allows the user to change the Bypass Capacitor's charge rate by a factor of two. Setting this bit
at zero will set the circuit to it's normal 1x rate. Setting the bit to High will double the charge rate and allow the
part to turn on faster with a slight degradation in turn on click/pop noise.
BITS 5, 13, 14, and 15
Bits 13, 14, and 15 are all reserve bits and must be set to low/zero/ground.
Bit 5 must be set High.
SPI CONTROL INTERFACE BUS (J1)
SPI DATA: This is the serial data pin.
SPI CLK: This is the clock input pin.
SPI ENABLE: This is the SPI enable pin.
SPI TIMING DIAGRAM
SPI OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
1. The maximum clock rate is 5MHz for the CLK pin.
2. CLK must remain logic-high for at least 100ns (tCH ) after the rising edge of CLK, and CLK must remain logiclow for at least 100ns (tCL ) after the falling edge of CLK.
3. Data bits are written to the DATA pin with the least significant bit (LSB) first.
4. The serial data bits are sampled at the rising edge of CLK. Any transition on DATA must occur at least 20ns
(tDS) before the rising edge of CLK. Also, any transition on DATA must occur at least 20ns (tDH) after the rising
edge of CLK and stabilize before the next rising edge of CLK.
5. ENABLE should be logic-high only during serial data transmission.
6. ENABLE must be logic-high at least 20ns (tES ) before the first rising edge of CLK, and ENABLE has to remain
logic-high at least 20ns (tEH ) after the sixteenth rising edge of CLK.
7. If ENABLE remains logic-low for more than 10ns before all 16 bits are transmitted then the data latch will be
aborted.
8. If ENABLE is logic-high for more than 16 CLK pulses then only the first 16 data bits will be latched and
activated at rising edge of sixteenth CLK.
9. ENABLE must remain logic-low for at least 30ns (tEL ).
10. Coincidental rising or falling edges of CLK and ENABLE are not allowed. If CLK is to be held logic-high after
the data transmission, the falling edge of CLK must occur at least 20ns (tCS ) before ENABLE transitions to logichigh for the next set of data.

I2S INTERFACE BUS (J2 - See Figure 21 )
The I2S standard provides a uni-directional serial interface designed specifically for digital audio. For the
LM4921, the interface provides access to a 48kHz, 16 bit full-range stereo audio DAC. This interface uses a
three wire system of clock (I2S_CLK), data (I2S_DATA), and word select (I2S_WS, sometimes called Right/Left
Select).
A bit clock (I2S_CLK) at 32 or 64 times the sample frequency is established by the I2S system master and the
word select (I2S_WS) line is driven at a frequency equal to the sampling rate of the audio data, in this case
48kHz. The word line is registered to change on the positive edge of the bit clock. The serial data (I2S_DATA) is
sent MSB first, again registers on the positive edge of the bit clock, delayed by 1 bit clock cycle relative to the
changing of the word line (typical I2S format).
MCLK/XTAL_IN (S1 MCLK SEL - See Figure 21)
This is the input for an external Master Clock. The jumper at S1 must be removed (disconnecting the onboard
crystal from the circuit) when using an external Master Clock.
STEREO HEADPHONE OUTPUT JACK (J3 - See Figure 21)
This is the stereo headphone output. Each channel is single-ended, with 100uF DC output blocking capacitors
mounted on the demo board (C6 and C7). These capacitors are necessary to block the 1/2 VDD DC bias and
prevent it from flowing through the headphone speakers (DC current will destroy most audio speakers) while
allowing the audio ac signal to pass through. The jack features a typical stereo headphone pinout.

LM4921ITL DEMO BOARD OPERATION
The LM4921ITL demo board is a complete evaluation platform (Parallel Port SPI Interface Card and control
software available), designed to give easy access to the control pins of the part and comprise all the necessary
external passive components. There are separate analog and digital supply connectors, SPI interface bus (J1)
for the control lines, I2S interface bus (J2) for full-range digital audio, stereo headphone output (J3), and an
external MCLK input (P1) for use in place of the crystal on the demoboard.
